From "The Washington Blade:" Thousands of people gathered in front of the White House on Sunday to protest the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., that turned deadly.

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, and others who spoke outside the White House sharply criticized President Trump's response to the rally that took place on Saturday. They also described the death of Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old woman who was mowed down by a car allegedly driven by James Alex Fields, Jr., 21, of Maumee, Ohio, as an act of terrorism.

Those who gathered outside the White House marched to a statute of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike near Judiciary Square. They chanted "tear it down" and "Black lives matter" as they gathered around the monument.

Marches and other events took place in New York, Chicago, Seattle and hundreds of other cities across the U.S. and Canada on Sunday. The Human Rights Campaign, the National LGBTQ Task Force and Equality Virginia are among the LGBT advocacy groups that have condemned the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.
